Frensham Great Pond is a large medieval fishpond on Frensham Common, with a sandy shore that draws swimmers and sailors in summer. It was dug to supply fish to the Bishops of Winchester. Open access with a car park charge, and the heath around it is good walking. Bentley station is about 6km north-west.
